Commonly Asked Questions

How tall and wide does Port Wine Magnolia grow? It typically grows to around 2–4 metres tall and 1.5–3 metres wide, depending on growing conditions and how it’s pruned. It responds beautifully to trimming if you’d like to keep it as a hedge or a more compact shrub.

How far apart should I plant Port Wine Magnolias for a Screening Hedge? For a dense screening hedge, plant Port Wine Magnolia around 1 meter apart. If you’re after a really quick, tight hedge, you can go a little closer at around 80cm apart, but generally 1 metre gives them enough room to grow into a lush, healthy screen without overcrowding

Are Port Wine Magnolias easy to maintain? Absolutely! Port Wine Magnolia is hardy, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant once established. It prefers a sunny to part-shaded spot with well-drained soil and benefits from a light prune after flowering to keep it neat and encourage bushy growth.
